This resort has everything. Spacious rooms, pools, lazy river, golf(for those that are into that sort of thing!), plenty of spaces for walking, running, convenient location to major attractions like Sea World. Rooms are very private. Overall, a very fine resort!

We stayed in river island but our unit was very worn. Dents in wooden chairs, mold in shower stalls. Pool closed multiple times. No so-fi for 5 of our 7 day stay.

Publix close by with great prices on souvenirs, better than the Discount stores. 2 Bed unit with screened in porch roomy and nice. Only negative was the pillows, and that's a personal preference and the Tubes in the lazy river are too big and not comfortable. Was able to use a noodle and worked perfect. Read less
